[quote=Anonymous]I have had a nanny and put my kids in daycare. What is “better” depends on what you value and the relative quality of the actual options you have - ie, your actual nanny vs “nannies” in general. You should think about what your actual priorities are and make sure you screen for that in a nanny. For reliability, daycare cannot be beat. Even the best nanny will need to take sick days, and luck will have it that it’ll be the day when one parent is traveling and the other has an important work meeting. One of the reasons I hired a nanny was because I wanted my baby to nap at home, but the nanny was always out and about so only one nap was at home. A great nanny is definitely the best option, but a good daycare is better than a mediocre nanny (and lots of them are very mediocre). [/quote]
